lyrics

Tom taught me the word sonder
Later pinging it through Alta Vista
Have to remind myself what a noun is
Never top of the educational lists
Sleeping in the Wendy House as the first books were passed out
It’s just a thing, a person, an idea, a name for something
All around us are messily latticed, unwritten epics
Part forgotten by the protagonists
Pausing in my perambulations I stare at the Great Bear
Though with those legs he looks more like a fox or a frog, or a fighting sled dog
In the thawing North, Douglas firs hide and seek you
Outside a bleak view
Take a picture and crank up the brightness
Take a picture and crank up the brightness
Take a picture and cut out the contrast
Pull through colours that weren’t even there
The closeness, the coldness, the doses
I lost focus, lost touch with old friends, did not seek amends
Eyes open during grace, silent in the amens, the empty plates
Look round the table, reach out for the ladle, hands I can’t see stop me
The same ones that rock me to sleep ten times each night
Take a picture and crank up the brightness
Take a picture and crank up the brightness
Take a picture and cut out the contrast
Pull through colours that weren’t even there
I no longer care who was right, though we both know it was me
The mirror behind the bar revealed it all
There was no fight just flight, downstairs
Recurring dreams of swallowed pride
Tried to stop being so soft, but the intent is lost in the wash
Yeah, the intent is lost in the wash
Take a picture and crank up the brightness
Take a picture and crank up the brightness
Take a picture and cut out the contrast
Pull through colours that weren’t even there
